Author: Michael Jenner Date: To: exim-users Subject: [Exim] Alias (invisible translation)
Hello all,
I'm using Exim (4.14) together with Cyrus Imap (2.1) and Sieve (for
vacation and filtering). Most functionality is in place, however, I have
a problem with aliases and vacation messages:
When I send an email directly to a user a sieve script is triggered
correctly and a vacation message is sent as an reply.
When I send an email to an alias the sieve script isn't triggered and no
vacation reply is sent. the recipient receives the message just fine.
I guess this has something to do with the header, could anyone elaborate
a bit on this?
The problem could be solved by a more advanced sieve script but I do not
want to do this. It must be easy for users to turn on the vacation
feature, and hence I have chosen SmartSieve - a web interface for
creating sieve scripts. Also, users may not know all aliases that point
to them, so even a more advanced script might not guarantee a vacation
reply.
Is it possible to configure exim so that an alias translation isn't
visible to the recipient (imap/sieve)?
